Touch up paint - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I drive a 90 Maroon Camry with same color bumpers. The previous owner, my older sister, dented them up a bit. Some of the paint sorta got scraped off in the process. Can I use some touch-up paint or something to fix it? Where can I get it? Special stuff?

(I am not gonna go as far as get new bumpers or anything)

I was reading another thread with someone talking about black bumpers. Sorry.

Let me get this straight. You want touch-up for the black bumpers? My impression was the black bumpers were unpainted.

But if you are asking about the maroon paint, you should be able to go by a PPG paint shop and have them mix you up some color-matched paint, some of them even put it in a rattle can for you, if that is your preference. Cost around $12 last time I had some mixed for my ES250...

Get out the phone book and look up the local PPG dealer(s), give them a call and ask if they have a color spectrometer. If they do, you just take the car to them and they can use the spectrometer to get a near perfect (if not perfect) match regardless of the paint code.
